He was proposed twice but turned it down both times IIRC. He was connected to the Ndrangheta and his brother Vincenzo Melia was a big name up in Canada and back in Calabria.

Ernie Biondillo and Jeep Garono in Youngstown. People said they were made guys under "capo" Lenine Strollo, but they were really just associates under Lenny, who was just a soldier.

Also in Youngstown the Carabbia and Naples brothers. Only, respectively, Ronnie and Joey were ever made, but people often refer to them all as made.

Was declared "made" by Lonardo without a ceremony, or something weird like that. Ask JCB, it was something strange like that.
